Gary Jon Van Ryswyk is a 74-year-old Florida man facing a felony charge of performing an illegal medical operation after botching a consensual in-home castration on another man he met on a “dark-web fetish website,” police said.

Law enforcement showed up at a Sebring home after someone dialed 911 but hung up the phone, according to police. The “patient” was bleeding heavily when a deputy arrived and he was rushed to a hospital.
